Kenya-based team

We operate on the ground in Nairobi — not a reseller working off someone else's itineraries.

Full Kenya coverage

Masai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Tsavo, and beyond — one partner, every itinerary.

One dedicated contact

Your enquiries go to a named person on our trade desk, not a shared inbox.

No cookie-cutter packages

Every itinerary is built around your client's brief, budget, and travel dates.

What Is a DMC in Kenya?

A Destination Management Company (DMC) is a locally based operator that handles the on-the-ground logistics of a trip — accommodation bookings, park fees and permits, vehicles and drivers, and guiding — on behalf of a travel agent or tour operator based elsewhere. Where a travel agent sells the trip to the traveler, a DMC is the team that actually delivers it once the traveler lands. For agents and operators sending clients to Kenya, working with a Kenya-based DMC means someone with real local knowledge is handling permits, logistics, and problems on the ground — instead of trying to coordinate all of it remotely.

Travel Agent, DMC, or Trade Partner?

Travel Agent

Sells the trip directly to the traveler — advises on itinerary, handles payment, and is the client's main point of contact before departure.

DMC / Ground Handler

PMK's role: we build and run the Kenya portion of the trip on the ground — permits, vehicles, guides, lodges — and hand it back to you branded however you need.

Trade Partner

An agent or operator with a standing commission arrangement with PMK, sending bookings regularly and working from our trade rates and support.

Why Partner With PMK Tours & Travel

1

Local knowledge, not a script

Every itinerary is built by a team that knows the parks, the seasons, and the properties first-hand — not assembled from a template.

2

Transparent, itemized quotes

You and your client see exactly what's included — accommodation, park fees, transport, guiding — with no hidden mark-ups.

3

Verified accommodation partners

We work with lodges and camps we know directly, across every budget tier from mid-range to luxury.

4

On-the-ground support

If something changes mid-trip — weather, a flight delay, a client request — you have a real person in Kenya handling it, not a call center.

5

Flexible white-labeling

We can operate quietly in the background of your brand, or be introduced to your client directly — your call.

6

How do I become a trade partner?

Fill out the enquiry form below with your agency details and the kind of trips you're planning. We'll follow up to set up your account and walk through our rates and process.

Do you require a minimum group size or booking volume?

No — we work with agents sending single travelers as well as larger groups. Your commission tier simply grows as your volume with us grows.

Can you white-label itineraries under my agency's brand?

Yes — we can operate quietly in the background of your brand, or be introduced to your client directly, whichever you prefer.

Are you a tour operator or a DMC?

Both — we sell direct to travelers as a tour operator, and we act as a DMC/ground handler for travel agents and tour operators sending clients to Kenya.
